Badlands Flight Path

air lane: a designated route followed by airplanes in flying from one airport to another

A trajectory is the path a moving object follows through space as a function of time. The object might be a projectile or a satellite, for example. It thus includes the meaning of orbit—the path of a planet, an asteroid or a comet as it travels around a central mass.

Bad Lands: an eroded and barren region in southwestern South Dakota and northwestern Nebraska

A barren plateau region of the western US, mainly in southwestern South Dakota and northwestern Nebraska, south of the Black Hills, noted for its harsh terrain

A badlands (also badland) is a type of dry terrain where softer sedimentary rocks and clay-rich soils have been extensively eroded by wind and water. It can resemble malpais, a terrain of volcanic rock. Canyons, ravines, gullies, hoodoos and other such geological forms are common in badlands.

Extensive tracts of heavily eroded, uncultivable land with little vegetation

Still one of American cinema's most powerful, daring filmmaking debuts, Terrence Malick's Badlands is a quirky, visionary psychological and social enigma masquerading as a simple lovers-on-the-lam flick. Inspired by the 1958 murders in the cold, stark badlands of South Dakota by Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate, the film's plot, on the surface, is similar to that of other killing-couple films, like Bonnie and Clyde and Gun Crazy. Martin Sheen, in an understated, sophisticated performance, plays the strange James Dean-like social outcast who falls in love with the naive Sissy Spacek--and then kills her father when he comes between them. The two flee like animals to the wilderness, until the police arrive and the killing spree begins.What sets the film apart from others of its genre is Malick's complicated approach. Gorgeous, impenetrable images contrast sharply with Spacek's nostalgically artless narration, serving as ironic counterpoints, blurring concrete meaning, and stressing that nothing this horrific is simple. Malick observes, rather than analyzes, the couple in a manner as detached and apathetic as the couple's shocking actions. No judgment or definitive motivations are offered, though Malick's empathy often leans toward his senseless protagonists, rather than the star-struck society that makes killers famous. Compared with the interchangeable uniform cops who hunt them and the film's other nameless characters stuck in suburban banality, the couple are presented like tarnished, warped and frustrated results of squelched individuality.Badlands, on one level, views America's suffocating homogeneity and, conversely, its continued obsession with celebrities (individuals considered different but adored) as hypocritical. Ambiguous and bold, the movie hints that society may be as guilty as the killers. --Dave McCoy

This must be my day for "blue" images. :)

I looked upwards (as I often do) and noticed three distinct contrails in the sky -- all appearing to intersect at the same point!

I'm sure these jets were at different elevations, but still, I found it fascinating that they appeared to have all crossed the same theoretical "point" in the sky -- at least from my perspective. :)

Okay, fine. So I'm weird! I just look at things sometimes and think, "Hmm ..."

Maybe I shouldn't share so much. I don't want you guys to start thinking I'm daft!!!

Oh, never mind!

Pictured here, Thomas Cook and their recently launched flights from Pearson Airport to snowless destinations. The tour operator announced a flight services agreement last year with Jazz that initiated six Thomas Cook-branded Boeing 757-200 planes to take Canadian snowbirds to 19 sun destinations. Some of which include Aruba, Curacao, Jamaica, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas and Puerto Vallarta on charter flights. The planes are operated by Jazz under a five-year agreement signed by the companies. Thomas Cook Airlines is a British charter airline based in Manchester, England. Jane McLean (About.com Guide) writes in her Toronto in March Weather and Event Guide:

"March weather in Toronto is generally warming up, but still unpredictable. Will it be t-shirt weather and early spring buds or a late-season snow storm? Shopping is a good way to occupy your time on a freezing cold day. The Eaton Center is but one of many indoor shopping malls and connects to Toronto's underground PATH of shops. Toronto's Museums and Galleries offers respite from cold winter weather. Public schools have their winter break (also called March Break) during one of the weeks in March - the week varies by province - so if you are planning a trip in March, be prepared for busier than usual hotels and attractions."

*Canada Blooms: The Toronto Flower & Garden Show at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre: Start to get excited about spring with four days of gardening gadgets, tips and of course, flowers. *The Toronto St. Patrick's Day Parade takes place on a Sunday close to March 17th. *Visit one of Toronto's Irish pubs on St. Patrick's Day *Lots of Maple Syrup Festivals take place outside Toronto in Feb - April. *Harbourfront Centre always offers special artistic and cultural events. *The Distillery Historic District has tours and other special events. .

A FLIGHT OF FANCY

In the late seventies the bus industry was in a bit of a state of crisis. The rear engined models born of the new bus grant were not really hacking it compared with the earlier front engined buses. Buses were becoming far more complex, due in part to where the engine was now situated, about thirty foot from the driver, the smallest thing could cause them to fail. The Leyland group was having great difficulty in supplying the operating industry with enough spare parts to satisfy the needs of the operating industry. This in the end let foreign competitors in and hastened the demise of Leyland.With single deckers the situation was slightly different, you could still buy relatively simple machines if you did not want the complexity of say the Leyland National. Rightly or wrongly Ford, Bedford were still producing lightweight chassis as was Bristol (just) with its LH.So I thought why not give the industry something dead simple like a double deck LH (no don't laugh missus). I thought there might just be enough room to build something like that without it being excessively high.The Leyland 400 engine was capable of delivering 120bhp, but was wanting in low speed torque. But there again, based on the unladen weight of the single deck LH it should have been possible to keep the weight of a double deck LH to about 6.5 to 6.75 tonnes, so it might have been possible to get away with it. "Renown" has extolled the virtues of the AEC AH505 engine in the past. Providing it could have been made to fit, an avoiding the problems it had when used in the Swift and Reliance, that could have been a better bet.The best place for a heavy diesel engine, if not at the front has to be between the two axles, giving ideal weight distribution.Regarding transmission I suppose a normal dry plate clutch and gearbox could have been used or alternatively a SCG semi auto box keeping things nice and simple.However for a double decker those narrow axles used on the LH would have had to be replaced by propriety 8' axles, but there should have been plenty of offerings in that department.One thing associated with the engineering of such a beast could have been the tilt test, as the LH chassis was quite light. But I would imagine with a bit of tweaking here and there that could have been adressed satisfactorilyAllthough the LH was a lightweight chassis, a lot of them lasted at long time in service, so durability may not have been a problem.Being so light I would imagine a fuel consumption of about 10mpg or thereabouts could have been easily achievable, compared with about 7-8mpg from the opposition. The Leyland 400 engine is quite small, but it would have to work quite hard in a double decker albeit a lightweight one.So there you are really, I have composed a pencil sketch of what such a beast might have looked like. I have given it a flat screen, to try and pinch a few inches for the front entrance. Also because flat screens are a lot cheaper to replace and this bus had it been available would probably appealed to the "penny pinchers" side of the industry.The idea may not be as daft as it might first appear.

Tiger Place (Hoedong)

The Legend of the Sea-Parting Miracle-The Story of Grandmother PpongIn 1480, near the beginning of the Joson Dynasty, Son Dong-ji was condemned to exile on Jeju Island. During his voyage to the Island the ship was wrecked during a storm and Son drifted ashore at a place named Hoedong, or Tiger Place because of the many tigers in the area. Son and his descendants lived in Hoedong for over 200 years. Life was hard and villagers were frequently attacked and killed by the tigers. Finally, Son’s descendants took a raft and moved to the nearby island of Modo. However, an elderly woman named Grandmother Ppong was accidentally left behind. The old lady longed to be reunited with her family and prayed for help night and day to the Dragon King of the Sea. Then one night, early in March, the Dragon King appeared to her in a dream and told her to cross the sea by walking on the rainbow that he would provide for her. When she awoke she ran to the sea and once again prayed to the Dragon King. Immediately, a rainbow-shaped opening appeared in the water between Hoedong and Modo. Grandmother Ppong started over the rainbow path, but the exertion was too much for her and she collapsed. Her family, crossing the rainbow from the other side, found her and as she died in their arms, she said, “I am happy because the Dragon King has reunited me with my family.” The people of Jindo Island still perform the annual ritual in remembrance of the sea-parting miracle and Grandmother Ppong. Many come here to pray for their children and the people hope that their wishes come true.

I'm doing something I've never done before, and expect to do more of in the near future; reviewing an online comic.

This particular work is the "baby" of Stamford College student Jason Duckmanton. He set out to produce a final project for one of his classes; what he ended up with is a comic work that actually leaves me wanting more.

The seven-page story, entitled Amnesia, concerns a young man (Jack) who has no memories, but plenty of nightmares. Those nightmares turn out to be real, however, when he discovers that he has been the subject of experimentation in the area of biological weaponry. But, when a mysterious figure shows up to inform him he has outlived his usefulness, Jack chooses "fight" over "flight."

One thing the story possesses in spades is mood. Duckmanton's artwork is eye-catching and dynamic in black and white, and made more so by the black-white-and-red version also included at the site.

A visceral tale told in a very bold style, it shows much promise for the work of someone who is, technically, a beginner. Whatever it may look like on the printed page, it practically leaps off of the computer screen, aptly relaying the intensity of the story to the reader. Some may ask, "Why review such a limited project, the rest of which may never be seen?" Basically, it's good work, and that's what Suspended Animation is about, bringing good comics work to the attention of as many people as possible. And, who knows? With enough word-of-mouth, maybe one day we will see the whole story in print.

For all intents and purposes, Amnesia is an experiment. It was done, ultimately, for college credit. Whatever grade it received from Duckmanton's professor, I give it high marks, and I hope he's able to pitch it (and complete it) successfully to an independent publisher.
